Nature Connection

My Devon based nature connection workshops
draw on many years of training, personal research and practice:
The work is influenced by both timeless indigenous wisdom and cutting
edge Western research.

For many people 'nature' and 'culture' are woven into a single
pattern. The Anangu, an Aboriginal group who live in the area around
Uluru are typical. They live according to the Tjukupa: "the
stories and the law that tells them how they should conduct their
ceremonies & lives to ensure that they and the land continue
to thrive. To them, nature and culture are the same" (Cultural
Centre, Ayers Rock Retreat).

We have somehow lost that fundamental understanding that human
well-being is dependent on a thriving ecosystem. This is not simply
a matter of having decent food, clean water and unpolluted air:
it is becoming increasingly clear that spending time in nature has
significant benefits psychologically. Much of this research has
been undertaken in the emerging field of ecopsychology.

I could say much more, but ultimately experience is the best teacher
- you need to get out there! Although nature connection can happen
pretty much anywhere, learning a few simple techniques will make
it much easier to integrate it into your life. Not only is nature
connection part of your birthright - it may well hold the key to
our future survival.
